No written piece could do justice to the high strangeness of the UFO video being armchair analyzed all throughout Britain.  You’ve got to see the link (below).  Here’s the story:

A UFO mystery has been sparked after a flashing light was spotted on BBC breakfast television.

Viewers watched in amazement as the white probe-like object appeared on the Look North morning show.

The UFO was captured on a webcam on Tuesday as it passed over the Gateshead Millennium Bridge on the River Tyne.

Viewers spotted the object when pictures from the weather camera were used as a backdrop on the breakfast show behind presenter Colin Briggs.

Former MoD UFO investigator Nick Pope said: "At first I thought it was a bird, but the slowed down footage seems to rule this out. It's an intriguing film and a genuine mystery."

There’s a little of that going around these days!  Four thousand, four hundred miles away, there are some other signs.  NBC-2 TV, Fort Myers reports:

Family members are scared to go outside at night because of what they say is lurking in the woods. They claim more than five alien encounters in the last four months have taken place. Now, an international UFO organization wants to crack the real-life X-file.  

Michael Rowley and his son Shane moved to their North Port home in April. 

"Well, I'm retired and I thought this was where you're supposed to go," Michael said. "The only bad part is the aliens around here."

Shane, 16, says he's had several extra-terrestrial encounters - most of which have been through his bedroom window.

"They kind of show up when they want. You get used to them, but it is weird to see them walking around the woods with those big eyes," he said.

"I haven't seen the wings but we know he flies," added Michael.

The Rowleys' twilight story has the attention of MUFON - Mutual UFO Network. The group is investigating and wants to setup surveillance. But Michael believes they won't show up if cameras are around.

He says the plaster cast of a foot-print is his key evidence. While it may be hard to see, Michael believes the creature has a cloven hoof.

"[It's] about this big with pure deep red eyes. It just looked at me for a second," Michael said.

Michael admits to rarely going out at night. But he says he believes they come in peace and that they're here for a reason. 

"I'm a combat Vietnam vet and I don't wake up until something good is going on," he said. "This is something big and good going on."

The family expects another alien encounter during the next full moon.

You can expect an update in a month.  Not all mysteries are that sexy, however.  New Scientist had an interesting article this week about why the human tendency to blush or laugh or to pick one’s nose remains ultimately unexplained.

I don’t know about the biological purpose of blushing or laughing but I think these scientists are missing the obvious explanation about nose-picking.  I mean, what else are you supposed to do at a red light?

One of the more persistent and deadly cryptozoological mysteries might get some new data soon:

ARMED with explosives, two men are heading to Mongolia's Gobi Desert to find the fabled acid-spitting and lightning-throwing Mongolian death worm.
The worm has never been do****ented but some Mongolians are convinced it exists. They call it Allghoi Khorkhoi, or "intestine worm" because it resembles a cow's intestine and is about 1.5m long (about five feet).

The worm apparently jumps out of the sand and kills people by spitting concentrated acid or shooting lightning from its rectum over long distances, NZPA reports. (Seriously.)

New Zealand TV entertainment journalist David Farrier, who is organising the expedition, and cameraman Christie Douglas, leave this week to spend two weeks in the Gobi, trying to verify the worm's existence and making a do****entary about it.

"If a Mongolian says they have seen a big worm-like creature out in the desert they haven't really got any reason to lie," Farrier said.

"I think it won't be a worm, obviously a worm can't survive in a desert. I'd say it would be some sort of snake that's not meant to be there. It's very out of place and a bit new."

There been several unsuccessful expeditions searching for the worm, the last two in 2003 and 2005, which had used night vision goggles to look for the worm.

However, the New Zealand team planned to bring the worm to the surface with explosives, as it is said to be attracted to tremors.

“Tremors”--funny that was just the word I was thinking of while I reading this story.  The expedition ought to call Kevin Bacon and see if he’s available.  I know he’s taken on a lot of new projects after he lost all his money to Bernie Madoff--speaking of five foot worms.

Scary work. Of course, just like the movie “King Kong,” even getting where the monsters are can be pretty scary.  These photographs from the bridge of a commercial ship caught in a typhoon should make you grateful that you aren’t out on the high seas tonight trying to get to “Skull Island.”

I swear these look painted but I have been promised by our friend Captain Kelly Sweeney that his colleague Chief Engineer Larry B. Larry sent these to him from right in the middle of a typhoon with no time for photoshop!

I don’t know about you, but I see those pictures and I know that there is a power higher than us in the universe.
